Sanctions

Written By: D. Collins 6/20/19
By starving the people, we're hoping they will revolt.
But, that may not come to be the end result.
Those same people may see us from a different view.
Through the eyes of malice by us appeasing the Jews.
We went even further in draining all of their blood.
Sanctioning any country that tried to show them love.
It is downright cruel to starve the whole of a people.
Killing economies for no good rhyme or reason.
What if all sanctioned countries started teaming up?
With something in common for coming after us.
To starve the whole of a people just ain't right.
Go after the players, not all human life.
If we play this game it may have the opposite effect.
As that of Louie the 14th and Marie Antoinette.
If sanctions don't work should we "obliterate" them?
All on the word of toupee wearing white men?
